Writing on the wall.
After the fort closed a lot of different people, seeking some time away from the rest of the world, stayed there for a while. Legend had it that Charles Manson and his ‘family’ are among the visitors. Some visitors left something to remember them by. Like here, in the kitchen.

The fort-island of Pampus, built in 1895, never saw any enemy action though. It became useless in 1932 when the Afsluitdijk (Closure Dike), closing of the Zuider Zee, was finished, and Pampus was therefore closed a year later. During the heavy winter of ‘44-’45 the island was reachable by ice and the people of Amsterdam looted the island for everything useful. Some tiles remained, though.
